JMI secures rank 195 in Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University Rankings 2021

The Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University Rankings 2021 includes only those institutions in countries classified by the London Stock Exchange’s FTSE Group as advanced emerging, secondary emerging, or frontier.

Emerging Economies University Rankings 2021: The Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) University has been ranked 195 in the Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University Rankings 2021. Following the past trend, The Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University Rankings 2021 includes only those institutions in countries that are classified by the London Stock Exchange’s FTSE Group on the basis of advanced emerging, secondary emerging, or frontier.

Commenting on JMI securing rank in the Emerging Economies University Rankings 2021, Professor Najma Akhtar, Vice-Chancellor, JMI expressed happiness and said, “This reflects JMI’s growing international presence and outreach besides the university’s impetus on high-quality research, publications and teaching. JMI hopes to improve upon its performance for higher ranking in future”.

An official statement released by the University reads, “Overall, there are 606 universities from 48 countries in the ranking this year, up from 533 in 2020.” In order to judge the institutions and universities, the rankings use the same 13 performance indicators as THE World University Rankings to judge institutions on their teaching, research knowledge transfer and international outlook. However, they have different weightings to reflect the development priorities of universities in emerging economies.

Meanwhile, Jamia Millia Islamia has allowed research scholars of engineering and natural sciences departments to return back to campus from Monday; i.e. March 1 for laboratory work. However, the return of students solely depends on the approvals from the concerned varsity authorities. 

In a circular issued, the JMI said, “Research scholars of the faculty of engineering and technology, and faculty of natural sciences and its associated centres are being allowed to use the laboratory facilities of their concerned departments and centers on seeking prior appointment and permission from the respective deans of their faculties through their research supervisors with effect from March 1.”
